From a family with a long history of military service, Bryan was born in Okinawa, Japan, in 1996, while his family was deployed overseas. Growing up in the small town of Oologah, Oklahoma, Bryan started playing music at 14, when his father and grandfather bought him a Takamine guitar for his birthday. After learning to play and write lyrics, Bryan began to create his own unique sound.
Bryan describes authenticity as essential to his music: “I’ll always tell the truth in whatever I’m playing or singing.Whether it’s one of the hopeless love songs I sing or a story I wanted to put into a tune, just know at one point in time I was putting all my heart and all my thought into how my feelings and thoughts might be understood by other people.”
Mine Again
Zach Bryan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the people that you saved, took a little piece of you with them
You are mine again and I'm so damn glad you're here
Talking strong, sober and clear, like you couldn't back then
How many sad songs it take, to get your stubborn ass awake?
What finally got you rising from your bed?
Was it the sunset on her cheeks, leading down to her delicate collarbones
Or the judgement of your mind when you're alone
Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been?
I've been struggling to get back to you
And if you fight all night, I'm sure you'll gain the guts to try
To get past the things that you've been through
'Cause no one plays the fool quite like you
Are those tires you got still turning?
Is that spirit you had still burning?
Do you still talk that shit the way you did before?
All the women and the wages and the wars that I've been waging
I just don't feel like fighting anymore
Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been
I've been struggling to get back to you
And if you fight all night, I'm sure you'll gain the guts to try
To get past the things that you've been through
'Cause no one plays it cool quite the way you
Mine again, so head back home and be who you know you can
Mine again, so don't be so cruel and play God with all his plans
Well, I am mine again, every mistake that I made
And I ain't ashamed to say who the hell I am
'Cause I am mine again and I'm so damn glad I'm here
Talking strong, sober and clear, like I couldn't back then
The song "Mine Again" by Zach Bryan is about someone who has gone through various struggles, made mistakes and lost themselves along the way. The singer is expressing their joy and relief that this person has come back to them and is talking strong, sober, and clear. The lines, "You are mine again, every mistake that you made, all the people that you saved, took a little piece of you with them," show that this person has been through a lot, possibly helping others along the way, but in doing so, they lost a part of themselves. The singer is happy that this person is now back, but also recognizes the fact that they had to go through a journey to get where they are now.
The lyrics, "How many sad songs it take, to get your stubborn ass awake? What finally got you rising from your bed?" show the struggle of someone trying to help this person during their journey. The person had to go through something that made them rise from their bed, and the singer is curious about what that was. The lines, "Was it the sunset on her cheeks, leading down to her delicate collarbones, or the judgement of your mind when you're alone," show that it could have been a person (possibly a romantic partner) or their own thoughts that pushed them to move forward.

“You are mine again, every mistake that you made, all the people that you saved that took a little piece of you with them
You are mine again, and I’m so damn glad your here, talking sober, calm and clear like you couldn’t back then
How many sad songs it take, to get your stubborn ass awake, what finally got you rising from your bed
Was it the sunset on her cheeks, leading down to a delicate collar bone, or the judgement of your mind when you’re alone
Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been
I’ve been struggling to get back to you
If you fight all night I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try
To get past the things that you’ve been through
Cause no one plays the fool quite like you
Are those tires you got still turning
Is that spirit you had still burning
Do you still talk that shit like you did before
All the women and the wages and the wars that I’ve been waging, I just don’t feel like fightin’ anymore
Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been
I’ve been struggling to get back to you
If you fight all night I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try
It ain't your fault what you’ve been through
Cause no one plays the cool quite the way you do
Mine again, so head back home to who you know you can
Mine again, don’t be so cruel and play God with all his plans
Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been
I’ve been struggling to get back to you
If you fight all night I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try
It's not your fault what you’ve been through
No one plays it cool quite like you
Cause I am mine again. Every mistake that I’ve made and I ain’t ashamed to say who the hell I am
Cause I am mine again and I’m so damn glad I’m here talkin strong sober and clear like I couldn’t back then” ❤️

Hey everyone, hopefully everyone knows that I know the soloing and instrumentation was absolute shit in this, I hope they also know I don’t care. Recorded this in 30 minutes and one take; felt like I had something to say after a hard patch in my life. Stay steady and know you will always be yours if you claim whoever it is. Thank you!!
@hellbillyjr

Just found you yesterday and you’re already one of my favorite artists of all time. Keep up the great work and stay true to who you are my man, you’re going places
@jordanbird2004
Feeling the hurt in the vocals.. for what you were trying to accomplish it was received. I don’t play music to make other ppl feel good as selfish as that sounds.. I play for my heart that seems to always be healing

Interesting, my friend Chris who was an addict for probably a decade or more, is just shy of 3 years sober, after dying from OD 3 times in a year a lone. He's got a successful detail company here and is doing amazing. You will as well. Keep at it.
